<P>Verizon, you clearly do not value your customers, dumping one of the only worthwhile channels in your entire lineup. If you don't bring&nbsp;The Weather Channel&nbsp;back, this will be the last contract I ever sign with you. So you "can't afford" The Weather Channel--a mainstay of basic cable since the day it first aired--yet you can afford all those 5 zillion sports channels that are all exactly the same and interchangeable? The Weather Channel is one of a kind. AccuWeather can't hold a candle to TWC. AccuWeather is so primitive--like something out of 1989.</P>Sun, 05 Apr 2015 16:43:16 GMTJaques2015-04-05T16:43:16ZThe Weather Channelhttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-TV-Programming/The-Weather-Channel/m-p/780921#M25606

<P>I subscribed to FiOS TV partly because it had The Weather Channel. &nbsp;If it didn't have TWC I would not have subscribed.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Now Verizon tells us that they are dropping TWC, and gives some corporate-speak malarkey for an explanation. &nbsp;This was done secretly, with no notice.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Now I have a TV service, with a two-year contract, that is pretty much worthless to me.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Unless this gets settled real quickly, I will be canceling my FiOS services. &nbsp;I expect to be able to do so without a penalty, since they are no longer providing what they promised. &nbsp;I'm sure that somewhere in some fine print they have given themselves the right to do whatever they want.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>There are also lots of avenues for complaints against Verizon, such as the PSC and the local franchise grantor (usually your local government). &nbsp;I'll be complaining about this everywhere I can. &nbsp;If you are unhappy about the loss of TWC, I hope you do so as well.</P>

<P>I pay close to $300 a month and I was about to jump to the 150/150 plan from the 75/75. My wife has several channels she watches and DVRs, all of which are available via a MULTITUDE of providers. I have a handful of shows I DVR...ALL of which are on the Weather Channel. I don't watch the weather channel for the weather, I go to channel 49 for that...oh wait, the **bleep** at Verizon have cancelled that channel as well. And I'll bet I'm getting ZERO credit on my account for the MAIN channels I watch being cancelled. I would like to know what research FIOS did to confirm these channels should be cancelled. Show me the lack of interest in these channels. I KNOW Verizon monitors the shows that are DVR'd...I have friends with Verizon, they DO track who DVRs what.<BR /><BR />I know SOOOOO many people who watch Weather Channel shows...I'm not talking about current weather-based shows, I'm talking about the educational and entertaining shows aired on TWC. Highway through Hell, coast guard alaska, weather caught on camera, extreme weather, prospectors, the wife watches Wake up with Al, strangest weather on earth, tornado alley, secrets of earth, raging nature, etc. And now TWC has NEW shows that I was REALLY looking forward to watching...and LEARNING...why planes crash, fat guys in the woods, the list goes on and on. As a science buff, these shows are GREAT at teaching my family about weather and science...my wife comments how she learns something new every time we watch one of these shows. These shows have something that EVERYONE in my family enjoys. My teenager loves the adrenaline rush of it, the wife learns something about weather that she didn't know and this gives me SOMETHING on TV that holds my interest....thanks for taking that away Verizon. This will help me make the decision to cut the wire...I'll just go to comcast for the line to the Internet and be done. My contract agreement INCLUDES TWC.<BR /><BR />Once again, Verizon couldn't care less about its customers and their desires....not sure about other customers but "I" wasn't asked about removing it. Then again, as I said, I know for a fact they monitor what is being DVR'd...they probably avoided me at all cost, KNOWING what my response would be.<BR /><BR />**bleep** Verizon?!??!

If Verizon has the option to cancel a service that we, in good faith, have paid to have, do we have the option to discount our payment due to discounted service or due to you not providing the service we agreed to?

<P>Not acceptable Verizon. You are licensed by the FTC and need to operate in the public interest. The Weather Channel isn't an entertainment channel (although they continue to try to entertain ... albeit somewhat lamely), it is a PUBLIC SERVICE. People need a good weather forecast, period. During Sandy I had no power (for 3 weeks) but during the storm, I was glued to the Weather Channel on my FIOS app on my phone. It kept me informed and I felt safer for it - as the storm raged outside at least I had a clue as to how much longer each phase would last. During this current horrific Winter, each snow storm has been well covered by the Weather Channel as well as the local channel on ch.49.<BR /><BR />For Verizon, with its billions of $$ of profits, to cancel THIS PUBLIC SERVICE is, quite simply, not operating in the public interest. I was one of Verizon FIOS first customers (when FIOS came to Long Island). I am also a triple play customer with all the extras. I also have a Verizon cell phone. My monthly Verizon bill is close to $500. Do I count Verizon? Does my opinion matter to you? Because, frankly if you do not consider restoring the Weather Channel, I will probably go back to Cablevision and AT&amp;T. And I can't stand either one. But it is clear to me that Verizon has no consideration for its customer base and their safety.</P>Fri, 23 Jun 2017 20:01:14 GMThttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-TV-Programming/The-Weather-Channel/m-p/781030#M25767Lennonhall2017-06-23T20:01:14ZRe: Weather channelhttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-TV-Programming/The-Weather-Channel/m-p/781033#M25799

<P>I am also very upset about this.&nbsp; We check Weatherscan (part of&nbsp;TWC&nbsp;package)&nbsp;every morning&nbsp;to determine&nbsp;what the weather&nbsp; will be that day and current temp.&nbsp; More importantly, this is a PUBLIC SAFETY issue.&nbsp;&nbsp; People rely on the radar to show upcoming severe weather approaching and for&nbsp; t-storm, tornado warnings etc.&nbsp; During the recent snowstorm, the radar was extremely valuable in knowing when the storm would be clearing us so we could go out, clear out driveway, etc.&nbsp;There is&nbsp;NO substitute for live radar anywhere else (insufficient on computer, phone app etc).&nbsp; &nbsp;I am so upset and plan to post my complaints everywhere!!</P>Tue, 10 Mar 2015 13:36:12 GMThttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-TV-Programming/The-Weather-Channel/m-p/781054#M25816charbar2015-03-10T13:36:12ZRe: The Weather Channel Being Droppedhttps://forums.verizon.com/t5/Fios-TV-Programming/The-Weather-Channel/m-p/781055#M25796
Complete **bleep** and IMO a failure to abide to the two year agreement I have with them for the services I pay close to $300/mth for.
